Exactly! theverge.com suffering from this problem too. When I visit that website, I want to see what's new. But I see a mangled mess of different articles that are not sorted.
- mahranch 12y agoI think this author is referring to using grids on a professional/business website. Half of what he says wouldn't apply to theverge because they're more of a magazine/article driven site. I'd argue grids are nearly perfect for those sort of sites. He even goes on to say, "Your homepage isn't a gallery". Well, if your website is a gallery (in this case, a gallery of articles), then it doesn't apply. It's also the reason why newspapers have the same "gallery style" layout: http://i.imgur.com/4xCCE2B.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4xCCE2B.jpg
- mantraxC 12y agoEven worse, TheVerge is so full of markup and effects, that the responsiveness is s--t. I used to read TheVerge all the time, but it feels like walking in molasses. I rarely visit it these days. I find the issue isn't grids, but whether you start designing your site with the intent of the chrome around your content being cool, or your content to be usable. All decisions flow from there.
